Celebrities always seem to have the most enviable bodies, don’t they? From their toned arms to their sculpted abs, it’s hard not to wonder how they maintain such flawless physiques. Well, the secret is out – it’s all about the workout style.
At the recent A Day in the Life at Vuori event, renowned celebrity trainer Kirsty Godso shared her top tips on how to channel your inner Lara Croft in your workout style. And trust us, after hearing what she has to say, you’ll be ready to hit the gym or the trails in no time.
Godso, who has trained the likes of Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin, is known for her high-intensity workouts and fierce attitude. So, it’s no surprise that she draws inspiration from the iconic action heroine, Lara Croft.
“Lara Croft is the ultimate badass – she’s strong, fearless, and always up for a challenge. That’s exactly how I want my clients to approach their workouts,” says Godso.
And she’s not just talking about the physical aspect of channeling Lara Croft. According to Godso, it’s also about the mindset and attitude.
“Working out is not just about looking good, it’s about feeling good. It’s about pushing yourself beyond your limits and feeling empowered. That’s what Lara Croft represents to me,” she explains.
So, how exactly can you channel your inner Lara Croft in your workout style? Godso breaks it down into three simple steps.
Step 1: Dress the Part
First things first, you need to look the part. Godso suggests opting for functional and comfortable workout gear that also makes you feel confident and powerful.
“Think fitted leggings, a supportive sports bra, and a lightweight tank top. And don’t forget to accessorize with a pair of statement sneakers – just like Lara Croft’s signature boots,” she advises.
But it’s not just about the clothes, it’s also about the color. Godso recommends choosing bold and vibrant colors to add a sense of adventure and excitement to your workout.
“Who says workout clothes have to be boring? Channel your inner Lara Croft by adding a pop of color to your workout wardrobe,” she says.
Step 2: Embrace the Challenge
Lara Croft is known for her daring and challenging adventures, and Godso believes that we should approach our workouts with the same mindset.
“Challenge yourself with new exercises and push yourself to do more reps or increase the intensity. It’s not going to be easy, but that’s the whole point. You’ll feel a sense of accomplishment and strength afterwards,” she says.
Godso also recommends incorporating functional movements into your workout, just like Lara Croft does in her action-packed missions.
“Instead of just doing bicep curls, try incorporating a squat into your arm workout. This will not only target multiple muscle groups but also improve your overall strength and coordination,” she explains.
Step 3: Have Fun
Last but not least, Godso emphasizes the importance of having fun in your workouts.
“Lara Croft always has a smile on her face, even in the most challenging situations. That’s because she enjoys what she does. So, make sure to find activities that you genuinely enjoy and have fun while doing them,” she says.
This could mean trying out different types of workouts, such as dance classes or outdoor activities, until you find what sparks joy for you.
“Working out should never feel like a chore. It should be something that you look forward to and enjoy,” Godso adds.
In conclusion, channeling your inner Lara Croft in your workout style is all about embracing a fearless attitude, pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, and having fun. So, the next time you hit the gym or the trails, remember to dress like a badass, embrace the challenge, and most importantly, have fun. Who knows, you might just unleash your inner Lara Croft and achieve your fitness goals in no time.
